The Psychic Taxi!

This is a blown up image of Center Camp, and "The Wheel" which is the street that surrounds Center Camp. We are thrilled with our location this year for so many reasons (a block away from Center camp, yay and way better than being IN center camp for those of you who were with us last year) We have a corner location so easier for those of you who are arriving late, leaving early! And best of all, this is the perfect shade-optimization for our Hammocks, we can build the pavillion on the street and it will be in the shade all-day-long!

We leave on Friday, see you all there!!

Wow, there are over 600 Theme camps this year, NO CHANCE at seeing them all, but if you want to make a brave attempt, here is a list I've created, cross referencing the camp descriptions to their locations. There are a few locations missing, so if anyone downloads this and knows the location of any of the missing camps, please email me at:

Please, please, please read this (all the tabs in this spreadsheet) and write back to us this week with your updated schedule. You can either fill this in and attach and send, or just tell us the schedule and space requirements(your car, tent, other vehicles!!)

This space requirement is a new section on the "schedule" tab we will be a tiny bit tight this year, so we really want to figure out how much space we'll need. Tres will measure this all out carefully so that we can all fit and breathe :)

Love to you,
Tres

Hi friends,
Here is this year's camp list.

Download file

There are two tabs in this list, one is for individual camp stuff, and the other is for community camp stuff. We are just starting to work on this, so we are totally open to updates.

We will have a community kitchen with all the cooking utensils, pots, pans, coffee maker etc. If you are really picky with your own tools, by all means bring them, because we don't feel that food/kitchen are a high-point of our week :) We also do not encourage electrical items, as we may or may not be "on the grid" but even so, the power usage expectations are very low (twinkly xmas lights, re=charging our batteries etc)

Let us know if you have questions or suggestions, we still have time!!

Love to all,
Tres & Jack

This is Psychic Taxi 2008 Camp Map:
We hope to be placed on the circle around Center Camp, and preferably with a Northern Exposure. This will keep us centrally located, and with the perfect shade-exposure for our Public Hammock Pavilion!

To all of our beloved camp mates. Please download and read the carefully crafted clean-up plan for 2008. We need your help and support to get another "green" rating (last year we were rated the highest marks for our clean and Leave No Trace scores, let's do it again!!!)
Love,
Jack and Tres

Hello Psychic Taxi campers, this is our last posting for pre BRC 2007!

We are all loaded up and ready to head up and gather the trailer, you can reach either Jack or Tres by cellphone on Friday for any last minute questions, otherwise we'll see you in the dust storm :)

I've made an alphabetical listing of theme camps in case you want to read and review.

Unfortunately there are no addresses, but you can cross reference to this list from burningman placement committee http://www.burningman.com/themecamps/placement07 (I ran out of steam tonight!)

See you all soon,
Tres

Hi everyone,
Here is our handy-dandy pack list. It is now separated into 3 tabs:
1. individual pack list (this is OUR list, so use it as a guide and feel free to customize or even make suggestions to us, we love updating this each year as we learn more :) Please note the importance of bringing an extension cord, stringlights, powerstrip etc!!!)

2. camp pack list (so that you know what we are bringing for the entire camp group)

3. schedule of when everyone is coming and going, and our nomadic cafe events. Please let us know if there are any changes.

Psychic love,
Tres

Thanks to Kim and Pam's excellent and fine painting skills, the Nomadic Cafe will now have a brilliant new roof (design inspired by the old 60's Fillmore posters)

This should really draw some attention to us as we cycle through the playa!

Can't wait to see you all!

Hi everyone,
We will be easy to find this year as we are smack-dab in the center. Here is a simple map showing our location. This is a big honor in that the Burninman team really considers us true citizens of the playa and our viewing location could not be better! We also have been given the space we asked for (as far as we know, remember anything goes once we show up and re-assess) You can review our camp layout in the below May blog entry to get a sense of the camp layout.

Center Camp here we come!
